BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN


Why you might like this:
· Gay romance is the central focus of the film
· Many find it quite poignant
· Fine opening and closing act

Why you might not like this:
· Gay romance is the central focus of the film
· The film is slow, dry, and clunky with a flabby middle
· The romance doesn’t ring true; it’s hollow actually
· Focuses on the two leads to the detriment of the other characters
